Default Lightest Street rims

hey guys, I need to replace my rear rims so i have decided to go all new. I want the lightest street rims that i can find. I think Center Lines are light but am not 100%. Anybody lead me in the right direction? I don't want 15" drag rims. I'm looking for 17" and could go to 18" but would rather not. Thanks!

Well, that might be somewhat of a problem. To get very lightweight wheels, you are gonna have to pay out for them. Check into Steeda Ultralites.

Does anyone know how much the Steeda Ultralites weigh? I have been trying to find out for a while and I can not find anyone that knows how much they weigh.

if you want to know how much the rims weighs, then call the company, but i think i saw that the steeda's weighed like 15 lbs. i think, not sure.

google will tell you the weight of most any rim, ultralights are probably one of the lightest.

I don't think that Steeda's weigh 15lbs. That would be a rediculously awesome rim. A 15lb 18 by 9 inch rim would be unreal.

Found it. Steeda Ultralite-Satin 22lbs, Steeda Ultralite-Chrome 24lbs. That still isn't to bad of a weight for a 18 by 9 inch rim.

18" gram lights weight > 20 lbs, bbs rk >20, and bbk rs-gt and bbs rgr is about 20lbs.

I'll most likely be going with a set of bbs rk rims if I can find em for open tracking, if not I'll be grabbing a set of 10th annis.

what do you guys think of sterotypically import rims on a mustang, like Buddy Club P1 QF rims, or Enkei RPF1's or Kosei K1's? I'm really leaning toward one of the latter two. They are really light.
